The Ghorveh batholith, located in the central part of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (SSZ), Iran, preserves several sequences of Mesozoic plutonic and volcanic rocks. This study presents systematic analyses of the calc‐alkaline granites and monzodiorites from the southern part of the Ghorveh pluton. The granites are metaluminous to slightly peraluminous with A/CNK ratios of 0.97–1.02, indicating an A‐type granitic affinity. High Rb, Th, and K and low Sr, P, and Ti concentrations indicate an involvement of crustal materials. Whole‐rock negative εNd(t) values and relatively high TDM1 model ages support a continental crustal source. Thus, the granites are of fractionated A‐type in composition produced by partial melting of crustal materials. The monzodiorites have incompatible trace element patterns with enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and large‐ion lithophile elements (LILEs) relative to heavy rare earth elements and high‐field strength elements. This combined with the high Mg# values and the positive εNd and εHf(t) values, indicate a mantle‐derived origin. Dating results show that the granites and monzodiorites have uniform crystallization ages of ~150 Ma. Previous results and our new data suggest that the Jurassic subduction of Neo‐Tethyan Oceanic crust under the Eurasian continent was followed by slab rollback that induced back‐arc extension. Heat transfer from arc magmas increased the degree of decompressional melting in the thinned lithosphere. Melting of the presumably homogeneous crust was concurrent with emplacement of the intermediate composition magmas. Consequently, we propose that the Ghorveh area of the central SSZ developed in a supra‐subduction extensional phase during the Late Jurassic.
